I suggest that Kolankowski is an even biggesr liabiity. Thomas just gives up yardage., but Kolankowski gives up free runs at our QBs.

the forum is right into prime off season mode. no rust around here. we going 1-0 each day derailing all the threads and having the same discussion in 4 different threads when any thing happens. No soft start for us, we going for the ship this off season.

Stove was so good and it is such a shame injuries derailed him like that. You hate to see it.

The first prokaryotes finding each other - was life changing

Shitty Jake is just sad to watch..and makes others have to work harder and be less impactful Shittier kolo effects whole offence pretty much and when others have to work harder it at times takes them away also from their actual responsibilities...so a huge ripple effect...not to mention the QB needing to constantly keep one eye up the middle and not getting to see and read the whole field...a bad center...is the one position you don't want your worst slug

Yeah I know when I click bomber offseason news I’m secretly wanting to read about people’s thoughts on the American penal system and their views on justice…

We're still waiting for Osh to name his OC & coaching staff for next season. As well as free agency. Not much else going om.

They had no brain but that never stopped them. Lol.

Wow this thread got derailed in a bad way.

The success rates in the US penal system are very low. The longer people are incarcerated, the more their sense of social connection, like skills and integration detreiorate and more "normal" becomes warped. In Sweden, Norway and Holland, they are closing jails as a result of emphasizing rehabilitiation rather than punishment. It takes a shift in the justice system but it pays off in financial as well as societal ways.

That would depend on your definition of justice. I have had some experience with the American penal/justice system and can tell you that there is very little attempt at rehabilitation- only incarceration in an often brutal system. Their recidivism rate is the highest of any western industiralized country despite having the longest incarceration rates. Most American jails are privately owned and run and rehab programs are detriments to the bottom line- profits. The longer someone is in jail, the greater the likelihood they will re-offend.

Too much pressure on Toews after being out so long...move namesy back to second line center and move Jt back to fourth line,give him time to find his game again.

I was responding to "very few here will ever empathize."

I guess kolo and Jake are the biggest fails as they are the worst starters at their position in the league by far. Jake doesn’t touch the ball every play tho and sounds like if nothing else he’s a respect veteran. Kolo? Don’t hear so much. Jake I suppose deserves some respect for being a lifetime bomber and it’s not his fault the team keeps giving him 1 year deals.

Milic giving them a chance. To be fair Carolina shoots from everywhere but ya been a trend this season. Jets think style points count. Canes know it don’t.

I feel I need to note that my comment was a take off on Grimey going off on Homer in that episode. It was a joke.

He's the poster boy for one of Osh's biggest flaws And sadly....he is not the only example of it...for several yrs....and that mindset of his...or his opinion ...and it's pretty much just his and as the HC he can do what he wants...needs to change in a big way

He was a very good rotational piece in his time. But yes, every one playing beside guys like stove, drake, prime wj/jj was gonna shine. Sad that iirc stove still hasn't turned 30. And his career is basically a season and a half of utter dominance. Hasn't seen the field since 21 here. He was such a monster when he came back from injury in that stretch run. Really crazy to think that JJ, Stove, and Kongbo all peaked here in 21 at a pretty young age. Then WJ and Jake drag them selves on and on playing as a shell of their former self.

Very few? C'mon now, let's live in the real world. If anyone's sports allegiance extends that far, they need to think about that.

How much juice did he have in 2018 when we tried to walk away from him? The fact that it's now 2025 and we're still talking about him and he's still playing that kind of a role, is a huge fail for this team.

It is EXTREMELY hyperbolic to say that Jake Thomas is EVERYTHING that's wrong with this team.... The only issue with Jake the past two years is that they gave him Prime Doug Brown snaps. Used sparingly, it would have been fine and far less glaring. He just doesn't have that much juice anymore. Going forward, if much prefer to see Cam Lawson and Tanner Schmeckel if we're going to carry NI DL...

People can laugh all they want at this with a wave of their hand but this is bang on. Obviously it does not mean that our 39th best player who plays nose is the main reason for our downturn. It's silly and misguided to interpret it that way. Don't think specific player, think mindset and approach using a specific example. E.g., roster management, recruiting, playcalling, loyalty versus onfield performance etc etc etc. MOS has confirmed all of this needs improvement/course correction to get us back to the top.

The Blue can dress Jake Thomas up like Homer and do skits where everyone on this board is Grimes being baffled at how JT still has his job.

I was there for the Big Bang. Quite the fireworks display. Tough to find a seat in the black void.

It's true. Oh, it's true. Postmedia doesn't send any beat writers for the Stamps on the road. I believe that's the same for every CFL team Postmedia covers. I've cancelled my subscription to the Calgary Herald. They don't want to spend any coin on the CFL well **** them. There isn't one story about the Stamps the day after when they publish when the Stamps have a road game. Postmedia has destroyed journalism in this country. I refuse to spend any money on that fraudeulent media company.
